Discover the natural wonder of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, an extraordinary substance uncovered by DSM scientists more than fifty years ago, sourced directly from nature's abundance. Since its discovery in 1967, it has been a guardian of food integrity and occasionally serves therapeutic purposes against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is crafted with precision through a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a meticulously controlled fermentation process. This guarantees the highest purity and unparalleled quality of the final product. Available in both versatile liquid and powder forms, it proudly carries DSM's esteemed brand name Delvo®Cid.

The Role of Natamycin:
1. Effectively hinders the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Ensures exceptional safety even at minimal dosage;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces by spraying or dipping;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In Foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a pivotal force in the food industry, providing a robust shield against fungal growth in dairy, and prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical realm for battling fungal infections, Natamycin is effective against a broad spectrum of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A beacon of innovation in the food industry for years, Natamycin offers a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, delivering a neutral flavor and efficacy that is less dependent on pH. It is versatile in application: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly mixed or sprinkled into products.
